“I’m glad China has chosen to return to the
negotiating table. I urge President Trump to continue to stand strong against
China’s many abuses. Americans have made sacrifices for this trade war and we
have to get a serious, enforceable deal with structural changes for this to be
worth it in the end. Farmers I talk to in Iowa understand the need to hold
China accountable. Americans are united on the need for China to end its unfair
and mercantilist trade policies. I’m encouraged that we’re back at the table to
resolve these issues.
